Property Description

Down a tree lined private lane off Old Dominion Drive just past Bellview Rd, you arrive at a gated entrance to this magnificent 12,000 square foot home nestled on a sprawling 3.8-acre woodland. Ideally located just 4 miles from both downtown McLean and Tysons Corner, this double-winged Jeffersonian all Brick colonial is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. The home sits majestically atop the property’s crest which is approached by a sweeping, long driveway adorned with massive oaks, other hardwoods, extensive specimen plantings and hardscapes by Charles Owens ‘of Fine Landscapes. The driveway culminates in a paver circular drive and motor court, offering a grand welcome and plenty of parking, along with a 3-car garage with custom raised-panel entry and garage doors. This home reflects the owners’ dedication and passion to recreate the timeless elegance and enduring quality of estates from a time gone by. Specifically over-engineered for structural integrity. The home was scrupulously finished with the finest materials and methods to showcase the extraordinary talents of carefully selected master craftsmen and tradesmen. The brick work is extraordinary with historic, over-sized hand-made brick with unique curved and angle custom shapes and masons’ detailing, setting this home apart. The Vermont black random-width rough-cut slate roof, all copper flashings, gutters, downspouts, and snow guards, as well as true divided-light, high-efficiency windows, add to the home’s durability and aesthetic appeal. When you enter though the front 2” think Mahogany door, you will immediately know you have arrived! You will find that the rooms are generously sized with expansive glass offering glorious views and natural lighting. The open floor plan allows for family and entertainment needs. From the elegant entry foyer, one can access the formal parlor and dining rooms, each featuring wood-burning fireplaces with gas lines. The octagonal great room boasts 14-foot window walls, a coffered ceiling, a stone fireplace, and access to a wrap-around Ipe deck. The Brazilian cherry floors are laid with multipiece species hardwood borders and hand-made medallions and detailing. Exquisite and elaborate multipiece millwork is found throughout, including crown moldings in every room, true raised panel wainscoting on the entire first floor, and historic custom mantels. The enormous chef’s kitchen is open to a family room with deck and porch access, creating a perfect space for gatherings with room for multiple chefs. The kitchen features Wood Harbor full-custom solid cherry cabinetry and Decora semi-custom cabinetry elsewhere. Down one wing you find a formal library that is a work of art with a fireplace, wet bar, and a 2nd story balcony with built-in bookcases. Also, on this wing you will find the Main Level Primary suite. In another wing a 2nd main level bedroom suite offers porch and patio access. From there you can access a private, second-level multi-room studio/office/apartment with a sun deck, providing space for various needs. The main upper-level hosts three additional large bedroom/ bathroom suites plus a game room/study. Italian and Turkish marble adorn all baths, complemented by Kohler designer fixtures, Jacuzzi whirlpool tubs, and a Kohler steam shower/lounger. The full walk-out lower level is an entertainer’s dream, featuring an octagonal party room with a stone fireplace, another multi-room apartment, along with recreation, media, wine cellar, exercise room, hobby room, and plenty of storage. The home is equipped with five HVAC systems, two oversized HWH, and a 25KW Caterpillar generator. Meticulously maintained by the original owners, this home represents an extraordinary opportunity to purchase a phenomenally well-designed and well-built home at a price substantially below its replacement cost, and offers, endless opportunities for future expansion, including the addition of a pool, tennis court, guesthouse, and more!
